London, July 30: Arsenal forward Lucas Perez is "angry" and "upset" at the Emirates Stadium, with his former club Deportivo La Coruna having made an offer to re-sign him, says the player's agent.

Perez struggled to make much of an an impact after his €20million move from La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna a year ago and the signing of France international Alexandre Lacazette has pushed the 28-year-old further down the pecking order.

The attacker also lost the number 9 shirt to the new arrival and his agent Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle has suggested that it has acted as a bonus to his client's desire to leave the Emirates.

"We have talked to everyone. Arsenal know we want to go, that there are no opportunities here, and within a year there is a World Cup," Lovelle said.

"Would you not be angry and sad and upset if you had your squad number taken without being asked?

"Deportivo made an offer a week ago. It is a permanent deal and worth more than Nolito's move to Sevilla (from Manchester City for a reported €9m).

"Lucas signed for Arsenal and was the happiest person in the world and with all of his dreams to fulfil. We have seen that every time he played he did well, but after every time he got fewer and fewer opportunities."

Perez started in only 2 Premier League games for Arsenal last season, but the striker has managed to impress almost every time he was offered a chance to feature for the Gunners.

His has every right to be angry and frustrated. The Spaniard moved to the north London club with a big reputation but the last season acted as a major setback to his career.

A move should be good decision for both Arsenal and the player and the Gunners are unlikely to prevent him from going back to his homeland.
